What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 March 2026

Leaders and staff are skilled in helping pupils to feel secure, happy and well supported. Pupils benefit from a calm and stable environment, even as the school manages the challenges of a reducing number of pupils. Morning routines help pupils to settle quickly, so learning can begin straight away. Pupils say that adults care about them and help them to do their best. Pupils enjoy their learning. They achieve well in some subjects. Many pupils take pride in their work and engage well with the curriculum. Those pupils who face barriers to their learning, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are supported effectively. However, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should in some areas of the curriculum. Although pupils enjoy school, attendance is too low. Some pupils miss out on considerable amounts of learning, and this affects how well they achieve. Leaders are taking a range of important steps to address these issues. School life is underpinned by its ethos. Pupils understand the school’s values of curiosity, hope, empathy, resilience, creativity and happiness. They talk confidently about what these values mean in everyday life. They show them in the way they treat each other, for example holding doors open for one another, playing kindly and showing respect. Classrooms are calm and orderly. Pupils listen well and try hard. Pupils feel safe and know who to talk to if they are worried. They learn how to stay safe online and in the local area. Bullying is uncommon, and pupils say that staff deal with it quickly when it happens. Pupils relish opportunities to widen their experiences beyond the classroom. Educational visits bring the curriculum to life. They talk confidently about visits to the Houses of Parliament, museums and local landmarks. Pupils develop responsibility through community engagement and a wide range of leadership roles.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should build on current strategies so that their actions embed consistent and notable improvements in pupil attendance and reduction in persistent absence for all groups of pupils.
  • Leaders should embed recent improvements to the curriculum and teaching, so pupils deepen their knowledge and consistently achieve well across the curriculum.
